Having fun and hoping the hive will help identify my EE chickens as cockerels or hens ;)

[Mer]

New to hatching EE chickens and hoping to play the male/female game. I have pictures from when they were about a week old and now about six weeks old. Would love to know your thoughts on future hens or roos! I'll separate them with a funny chicken head picture so you know we are on to the next bird.

First up is Poppy - A gentle red bird
- random chicken head-
Second bird is Berry - a more aggressive bird. A cross of Prairie Blue Egger and RIR
-random chicken head
Third is Clover - very flighty and a cross of Prairie Bluebell Egger and RIR
-random Chicken head
Forth is Lilly - a little escape artist and also a cross of Prairie Bluebell Egger and RIR
-random Chicken head
Fifth is Ivy or Ivan - a very friendly bird and a Prairie Bluebell Egger
-random Chicken head
Sixth is Olive - first to greet you and a Prairie Bluebell Egger

Looks like the dark ones are male

Hello! Welcome to BYC! I would agree with nuthatched on the dark ones likely being cockerels! Time will tell!

Hiya, and welcome to BYC!

You can give a few others a chance at this if you want to post their pictures in our What Breed or Gender is This forum. We only raise silkies and a couple of ducks, so not so good at it though.

We're glad you're here!
